The Statistics Minor

"Quantitative data are everywhere in political science. For the last three decades or so, a solid background in statistics has been essential for anybody who wants to understand empirical political science research. Most graduate programs in political science nowadays have their students take several advanced stats courses. Students with solid statistical training can apply their skills in research-based courses such as the senior seminar."Dr. Broscheid, Political Science Professor
